267850 - small icons preference should apply to all toolbars

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Mikel Ward]

There are many things I find annoying about the Thunderbird toolbars.  The most
obvious of them is that:
1) The default large icon set is larger than other similar applications (Mozilla
Firefox, Outlook Express, ...)
2) Changing the main toolbar preferences (such as setting small icons) does not
propagate to other toolbars such as the compose window

Making the default icons a reasonable size would be a good start, but I would
hope that such preferences as "Icons"/"Icons and Text"/"Text" and "Small Icons"
are consistently applied to all toolbars in the program, as they are in Outlook
Express, GNOME Desktop, and other applications.

I don't think the icon set is actually larger (in Thunderbird 1.0 anyway) but
the amount of space around the icons is greater than in Firefox 1.0. Closing the
spacing gap around the icons and changing the throbber so that it resizes upon
moving it to the text menu bar (default throbber location in Firefox) should
resolve this.

Should be relatively easy to modify the button spacing using userChrome to test
this out.

We no longer have choice of small and large, correct?

Yes, we have now only one icon size.
